Turkey burgers in Lettuce wraps

I always loved turkey burgers and love too in bread but when I saw this turkey burgers in lettuce I think to make of course:)I found in LadyHome Journal and I made and freeze, you can grill or make in a frying pan.

Add turkey, onion, garlic, zucchini, carrot, ginger, jalapeno, cilantro, egg white and bread crumbs or panko to a bowl; mix with hands until completely combined. With oiled hands use 1/2 cup of the mixture to form each patty (each about 1/2 inch thick).

Heat grill to medium-high. Brush patties with oil and grill, covered, turning once to cook through, 2 to 3 min on each side. (or fry in a frying pan by some minutes until are cook)

Serve in lettuce leaves with extra cilantro and grated carrots, and a squeeze of lime.I think the grated zucchini is a plus in these burgers because are more juicy.

Gloria, I never thought about putting a turkey burger in a lettuce wrap... But why not?! My wife and I both like lettuce wraps and this is a take off on that approach. Thanks and Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
